This Thursday’s random-ness is all about water illusions.
If you missed the post on Facebook, check out “Tarp Surfing”… Even landlocked folks can get barreled!
A completely different kind of water illusion, but just as cool, check out unbelievable pictures from Singapores swankiest infinity pool....it's 650 feet above the ground! I don't know how this isn't a safety hazard...
As the weather warms up, competition season kicks in Team H2O Audio has been busy, here’s what they’ve been up to:
Jenny and Morgan, the Destination 3 Degrees girls, have finished crossing of all of the Channels of the Hawaiian Island Chain! Successfully finishing their journey and raising funds and awareness about the impact of plastics on the worlds oceans, we couldn’t be more proud of helping these girls by bringing music to their journey. If you’d like to, you’re still able to donate to their cause.
Another group of H2O Audio paddlers made an impressive showing over the weekend, Mikey Cote and Eric Abbott of the the Wailupe Boys took 1st and 2nd place respectively, at the Malibu Downwinder paddle. Both guys finished the 7 mile paddle in just over an hour.
Coming up this weekend, both Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin will be competing in Charlotte at the UltraSwim Grand Prix. They’ll be 2 of the 12 Olympians who’ll be in the pool at the sixth stop of the USA Swimming Grand Prix Series. Also, Triathlete couple Greg and Laura Bennett will be racing at the Bay to Breakers Run in San Francisco. Best of luck to everyone! Make sure to check back next week for results.
Being in a kayak gives you great mobility and the opportunity to get close to nature, for the guys above…maybe a bit too close. Watch about their encounter with a Great White Shark!
It’s not as scary as a shark, but how big of a Tuna do you think you could reel in from your kayak? Click here to find out the record for the biggest tuna caught from a kayak. Think you can beat it? Get out your Capture Case and nano and film yourself giving it a try.
Oh Youtube….a vast time sucker full of amazing videos, including our favorite catatory, swimming and surfing animals. From surfing ducks and sheep to scuba cats I could fill this page with odd aquatic videos, but instead, I’ll simply post our tribute to the slow and steady. Not every swimmer needs to be fast….
Next, are photos and videos, that you can’t help but check out and chuckle a bit…what would ever possess someone to do this? Who knows, but we’re glad they did.
With spring right around the corner, the Team H2O Audio SUPers have been grabbing the tail end of winter swells and enjoying the sunshine….
Laird Hamilton and friends always make Stand Up Paddling look so effortless, easily throwing in 360’s, but this point of view video not only shows their cool tricks, but also how fast the waves really move.
Just in case you haven’t heard yet, Dave Kalama is the newest H2O Audio Ambassador to join the world of blogging! Almost every you can check out a new entry into his Waterman’s Journal about his adventures in stand up paddling, surfing, ocean voyaging and life. Also, Dave will be making his way to Florida in May to host a Race Clinic before the 2010 Gulf Coast SUP Championship.
H2O Audio paddler Chuck Patterson just can’t seem to stay at home. He’s posted another great blog entry about his latest adventure to the Kui Kaika big wave SUP contest in Oahu complete with gorgeous pictures that are sure to give you a mini-vacation right from your desk.
Moving away from the salt water and back to the chlorine, H2O Audio Ambassador Natalie Coughlin spoke with Swimming World TV last week about her performance in her first swim meet since Beijing and her what’s on her path to the 2012 Olympics.
